Nissan Off Road Club - Berakah trail 24th May 2014

[Thabbies]

Thabbies, you may know from the community forum that the Rhino challenge, although not open to the public, is still opened on selected days for pre-scrutineered vehicles.
I will still do it, once I have front lockers and 35" tyres, but your shortie should be ready for it.
Not yet for me, but one day...

Alex, since my leg is broken, I'll have to rely on Anton to drive Thabbies through the Rhino Challenge, if it is open for us on Saturday.

Cedric, do you know if the Rhino will be open on Saturday for those of us willing to give it a try ? I'm coming through for the Saturday only...

[ricster]

Not sure Deon, I doubt it though. I've only seen it open once many years ago, and that lifted, kitted, made for some rough stuff Hilux bakkie came out with a few new dents and scrapes that were not there before it went up that hill !!!

[Alex Roux]

Ja, I am pretty sure it has to pre-arranged these days to go up there.
But may be worth enquiring from the host

[Thabbies]

Alex, yes you're right. The Rhino challenge is only opened on special days. The last time was this year, 10th of May. I spoke to Lenie from Berakah. We can get details of the next Rhino open days from her or Andre on Saturday.

Rwanda can wait.....The Patrols legs need stretching

[Alex Roux]

I am at the moment 60% of going! Only an estimate.

Estimate is now 80%!

[ricster]

I wanna hear that grunt of your Patrol Alex......

[Alex Roux]

Well, in the end, there at least 10 of us, and just the right number.
Berakkah is harder than it used to be. More cavities in the rocky bits, possibly from the summer rains we had.
Either that, or I am getting old!
Pictures are better than words. At least then it really happened!

That is not the enjin breaking really, more like breaking by using the enjin compression!
